130000=800+\left(x-1\right)\times 300+800
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
130000=800+300x-300+800
Use the distributive property to multiply x-1 by 300.
130000=500+300x+800
Subtract 300 from 800 to get 500.
130000=1300+300x
Add 500 and 800 to get 1300.
1300+300x=130000
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
300x=130000-1300
Subtract 1300 from both sides.
300x=128700
Subtract 1300 from 130000 to get 128700.
x=\frac{128700}{300}
Divide both sides by 300.
x=429
Divide 128700 by 300 to get 429.
